POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In this episode, I discuss reclaiming the body with @whitneytrotter.rd CEO of @projectheal , who is also a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience in the eating
disorder field. We discuss the often-overlooked connection between trauma, eating disorders, and our relationship with our bodies.

Whitney’s introduction to eating disorders came through her work with survivors of sex trafficking and people living with HIV, where she witnessed firsthand the profound ways trauma can affect a person’s
relationship with their body, safety, food, and sense of self.

Together, we explore an important parallel: people who have experienced significant trauma and people struggling with eating disorders both experience a disconnection from their bodies.

We talk about the importance of safety and trust and what it means to reconnect, to become more present in our bodies, and to learn to listen to and care for the body rather than fight against it.

In this episode we are essentially talking about a kind of “body recovery” that goes beyond food and weight to finding our way home to ourselves and learning that our bodies can once again become a place
of safety, connection, and care.

Project HEAL just had their annual HEAL week, raising money to help break barriers in access to care for individuals with eating disorders.

I’m asking for your help supporting and donating (website link to donate in my bio)to my nonprofit, ALIGN33 Media. 💜🦋

Having been in recovery from an eating disorder for 13 years, this mission is deeply personal to me. I was fortunate to receive the support I needed to recover—and I want more people and families to have that same chance.

ALIGN33 Media is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to transform the conversation around eating disorders, body image, mental health, recovery, and treatment access through media, education, advocacy, and lived experience.

Since launching, we have:

🦋 Conducted 500+ interviews globally
🦋 Built a community of 10,000+ people
🦋 Launched the ALIGN33 Media Roundtable Series
🦋 Brought educational programming to universities and communities
🦋 Continued developing our documentary series, *Mind Over Mirror*

Our Mind Over Mirror trailer offers a glimpse into this powerful documentary and our mission to deepen understanding, reduce stigma, and bring greater attention to a health crisis affecting millions of people and families worldwide.

Through hundreds of conversations, I have learned that people are becoming more medically ill—and children are developing eating disorders at younger ages. My goal is to build ALIGN33 into a lasting national platform capable of creating meaningful cultural and systemic change.

If you, your company, foundation, or family are looking for a meaningful place to make a tax-deductible contribution, I would be incredibly grateful for your support.

Every donation, introduction, and share helps us continue building—and helps more people feel seen, understood, and supported.

💜 Donate and watch the trailer through the link in our bio.

Should we use the word “chronic,” or could that make recovery feel less possible? Maybe “long-standing” or “severe and enduring” would be more appropriate.

Maybe your eating disorder symptoms showing up more, doesn’t mean you are failing at recovery but rather, your capacity is lower in this moment.

This fishbowl analogy was from one of @becomingrecovered podcast episodes. I think it sums this up so well.
Your tolerance, capacity and resources fluctuate, they change. When your capacity/water level is lower, more of your eating disorder/coral is showing.

Remember the eating disorder came in to protect you, so it offers its services the more it feels you need saving.

So maybe the question isn’t “how can I shut my eating disorder up”, maybe it’s “how can I raise my water line”

I’m Holly, an eating disorder therapist, Save this for when your eating disorder is loud and you need a nudge to focus on your water line instead🧡

OUT NOW 🎙️

Hayley Charles opens up about the shame that so often exists behind an eating disorder—the shame of struggling, the shame of being seen, and the shame that can keep people silent.

Eating disorders thrive in secrecy. Recovery begins when we create spaces where people feel safe enough to speak without fear or judgment.
